Syncing dnode and Express authentication - How?

I'm building a web app with Express and dnode and I'm trying to synchronize authentication between the two.

I found the following example, but the 'sessionCheck' event doesn't appear to be firing on the connection object: http://repos.io/project/github/tblobaum/dnode-session/

Anybody have input for how to correctly synchronize auth between Express and dnode using sessions?

Thanks,

Matt
